Even Saudis Want Netanyahu to Address Congress
ISRAEL TODAY ^ | 3 Mar 15 | Israel Today Staff

Posted on 03/03/2015 6:28:10 AM PST by elhombrelibre

As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared on Tuesday to address the US Congress regarding the Iran threat, in direct defiance of the Obama White House, at least one nation outside of Israel was supportive of the move: Saudi Arabia.

Writing in the Saudi daily newspaper Al-Jazirah on Monday, columnist Dr. Ahmad Al-Faraj called Netanyahu’s appearance before Congress under such circumstances “unprecedented in US political history.”

Obama Administration officials and Netanyahu’s political rivals in Israel insisted the speech is a mistake and would only serve to damage US-Israel relations. But Dr. Al-Faraj said the Israeli leader was providing a vital service not only to the Jewish state, but the entire Middle East.

“I am very glad of Netanyahu’s firm stance and [his decision] to speak against the nuclear agreement at the American Congress, despite the Obama administration’s anger and fury,” wrote the Saudi. “I believe that Netanyahu’s conduct will serve our interests, the people of the Gulf, much more than the foolish behavior of one of the worst American presidents.”

Al-Faraj hinted Obama’s naive and dangerous behavior in the Middle East had necessitated someone like Netanyahu taking a bold stand.

“…Obama is the godfather of the prefabricated revolutions in the Arab world, and…he is the ally of political Islam, [which is] the caring mother of [all] the terrorist organizations,” he wrote, suggesting that any deal struck by this particular American president could simply not be trusted.

Well, that's not all they're scared of; they're frightened of Obama selling them out. He's alienated Saudi, the Gulf States, Jordan, Yemen, Egypt, and pro-Western Libyans. Beyond that, he's done a great job of helping the Moslem Brotherhood, al Qaeda, and ISIS.

Check this out for how unpopular Obama has become in the Arab world. He cannot even get the belly dancer vote.

Got to remember too that what were countries such as Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and even Lybia, they are for the most part are GONE, controled by either ISIS or Iran. They are shaking in their robes.

The Obama administration plays checkers while the world is a chess game.

Liars. If Obama is the Godfather, the Saudi two faced bastards are the midwifes. They pay to have regimes brought down, for example, Assad’s. If any group in the Arab world could solve the economic conditions of the Palestians, it is the Saudis. pack of liars and rats. Screw em.

Does anyone know this Dr. Al-Faraj? A search on google just shows him as a columnist for a newspaper. I mean, is this something like Rush Limbaugh writing an article in a newspaper or is it something more? Does this guy have connections to the King and can be relied upon to be the thinking of the Saudi government? If it’s just one man’s opinion in Saudi Arabia, to me that’s not a big deal.

The saudis complain because Obama is not the perfect lap dog they want him to be. Obama is more in bed with the Iranians than is comfortable for anyone.

The whole deal is this - the Iranians would attack saudi arabia before israel. It makes more sense. That is why the saudis are adamant about helping israel with overflights to Iran. Entangling alliances, caught in are we.
